50 Years!

 

This year marks the 50th anniversary of St. Joseph the Worker here on 148th Ave, Portland, OR!!

 

Patti LaRue and Darlene Griener of the Pastoral Council,  and Mary Kapelczak will be heading the planning committee for this huge event. And it is a huge event. The three of them cannot manage something of this magnitude alone they are looking for volunteers to step up to help put on this event for the church.

 

The committee will need help in the following areas:

History

Decorating-Kim Malen committee lead

Music-Kathy Harris committee lead

Set Up/Clean Up

 

The event will include an outdoor Mass, picnic/bbq, live music, an historical exhibit set up in the Social Room and invitations will be given to the public as well as an invitation sent to the Archbishop.

 

This is a once in a lifetime event, so let’s make this happen!

 

Our first meeting will be February 17th at 12:15 PM in the Social Room. Please call Patti at 503-761-7249, Darlene at 503-665-9060 or Mary at 503-665-7022
